1975 Map of Laniers

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Logan Martin Lake dominates this mid-1970s orthophotograph, its intricate, branching fingers spreading through the Alabama landscape. Created by the Soil Conservation Service and the U.S. Geological Survey using aerial photography taken in December 1975, this map provides a detailed look at the interface between the reservoir and the surrounding rural community. The settlement of Laniers appears near the southern reaches of the map, situated above the winding Coosa River. The imagery reveals a landscape of wooded hills, agricultural clearings, and the developing shoreline of the lake, capturing the local geography as it existed just over a decade after the damming of the river. This specific edition uses rectified photoimagery rather than traditional topographic contour lines, allowing for the direct visual study of land use, forest cover, and the precise road networks connecting the scattered homes and farms of the era.
